Brooke Wells releases documentary on final CrossFit Games season

Brooke Wells turned her 10th and final CrossFit Games season into a documentary, and the result is as much about identity as it is about competition. Her film, Brooke Wells’ Last Dance at the CrossFit Games, was produced with Mat Fraser | HWPO and uses behind-the-scenes access from every event at the 2025 CrossFit Games, along with interviews from her family and the people closest to her, to frame how she wants this chapter remembered.

The release arrives with clear context around her place in the sport. Wells officially confirmed her retirement after the season, closing a career that began with a team appearance at the 2014 North Central Regional before she emerged as an individual force. At 19, she won the 2015 Central Regional and then finished 16th in her rookie Games appearance that same year, a fast start that signaled her as one of the sport’s most promising young athletes.

Her career also carried the kind of setbacks that helped define her reputation for resilience. Wells was medically withdrawn from the 2021 CrossFit Games after an elbow injury during the snatch event, and she was in sixth place overall when that happened. CrossFit’s 2022 retrospective on the season treated that injury as one of the memorable moments of the year, a reminder that Wells’ story was never just about results but about how she responded when her body broke down in the middle of a title chase.

That response helped power a comeback. Wells returned in 2022 and matched her best Games finish of fifth, reinforcing the consistency that made her one of the most recognizable athletes in the women’s field. CrossFit has described her early elite run as one that included six top-five finishes and one event win, a profile that fits the veteran who kept showing up on the sport’s biggest floor.

The documentary also captures the end point of a rare run. Wells’ 2025 Open ranking was 37th worldwide in the women’s division, and her 2025 Games appearance at MVP Arena in Albany, New York, from Aug. 1-3, 2025, marked her 10th start at the event. That puts her in a very small group of women to reach 10 Games appearances, a distinction that speaks to both longevity and staying power in a sport that routinely cycles through stars.

Wells was 30 in 2025, old enough to be a veteran, still close enough to the top of the field to matter, and experienced enough to know that the final image can define the memory. With this documentary, she made that image on her own terms, turning a farewell into a record of injury, reinvention, family and a career that helped shape a generation of CrossFit fans.
